Timpanogos Cave
Reservations
Get a reservation to ensure your spot in line for the tour at this popular cave in Utah. The only access to the cave system is by walking a strenuous 1.5-mile paved trail, which rises 1,092 ft to an elevation of 6,730 feet above sea level. Wear appropriate footwear and carry water, especially in summer. The park recommends at least one liter of water per person as temperatures reach over 100 degrees F on the cave trail in the summer. The inside of the cave is a cool 45 degrees. A light jacket is also recommended for this outdoor adventure.
The cave is typically open May-October, but can close due to weather and trail conditions. Guided tour tickets are $12 per person for ages 12 and over, $7 for ages 2-11 and $2 for children under two. Tickets may be purchased up to 30 days in advance.
Directions
The visitor center and trailhead are in American Fork Canyon, accessed east of I-15 on state Route 92. From I-15, take Exit 284 (Alpine-Highland), turn east towards the mountains on state Route 92 and proceed ten miles to the monument. By summer, when conditions permit, S.R. 92, the Alpine Loop, re-opens and passes Sundance Mountain Resort before completing the circle around Mount Timpanogos and connecting with U.S. 189 in Provo Canyon.
